Information

Course Duration: 1 day

The main objective of the course is to inform and raise awareness of all professionals in the broader healthcare sector regarding the changes brought by the new European Medical Device Regulations MDR 745/2017 and IVDR 746/2017, in the Circulation of Medical Devices (from Import into the Community and Circulation, to Supply and Disposal to the user).

The participants will recognize the changes in the legislation and identify the points of the Circulation processes affected by them.

An explanation is given of the Compliance of Medical Devices in the context of the New Regulations and the Economic Operators involved in the supply chain with the addition of practical references to the methodology of approaching the compliance and the required documentation (Certificates, Declarations of Conformity etc.) as appropriate.

It is estimated that this training is necessary for every professional in the sector since it contributes directly to the difficulty of managing the new requirements, to the achievement of a smooth transition of organizations and individuals to the new Regulations and in the emphasis of giving spirit and substance to the implemented changes.
